NBA PLAYOFFS: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE SAD

Two weeks into the NBA playoffs, and I'm not bored yet, but getting there. Some observations:

-- Didn’t realize that Jerry Stackhouse was still in the league. Of course, he didn’t realize that I was still editing and writing sports for a living, either.

-- Was doubly surprised to see that Kurt Thomas was still in the NBA. When we last saw Thomas, he was trying to crack Larry King’s cribbage lineup.

-- No matter how dramatic the dunks, sensational the shooting or galvanizing the game, the best part of any NBA telecast on TNT remains Charles Barkley on the halftime show.

-- It’s not true that the ratings-savvy NBA had disgraced former referee Tim Donaghy on standby to do Game 6 and 7 of the Lakers’ series had the Kobeyashis lost Game 5 to Oklahoma City.

-- If Cavs’ LeBron James plays through his elbow strain and bone bruise, Knicks’ 2010-11 seaon ticket-holders will file an official protest with NBA Commish David Stern.

-- Is it possible to feel sorry for outspoken billionaire owner Mark Cuban, who means well and whose Mavs have never won an NBA title despite great regular season records only to lose heartbreaking playoff series after heartbreaking playoff series to inferior teams? No.

We, as NBA lovers, will always do our best to attend the games of our teams. It’s true that we always have some special love for a team, but in general, our love covers all the NBA and we like following the other teams even our team is no longer in competitions. NBA tickets has never been something easy to get but since they become unfound or pricy, and this is why I make some prices comparison before buying in specialized websites like Ticketwood.com or many others.
